    Bargain Hawke Sapphires!

    OK, I have the O-rings in place and it works a treat. Quite a neat solution I think?

    Bargain Hawke Sapphires!

    Initial thoughts on using for 1 afternoon. Optically there seems little if any difference between these and the Frontier 8x43 EDs. They are slightly brighter but I have yet to test them at dusk, where the Frontier performed very well. The one thing I found a little annoying is the eye relief...

    Bargain Hawke Sapphires!

    I broke my Hawke Frontier 8x43s not long ago. I was running with them zipped under my jacket and fell. I broke both hinges by landing on top of them and suffered a hair fracture in my sternum to boot! But that is not what this is about. What it is about however is the fact that Hawke gave me...

    DIY Robinson Trap

    Hi All, here is my new homemade Robinson. It's more Heath Robinson than pro Robinson but it works, and all built from scraps (apart from junction box and plug).

    Rexmoor Highlander

    Just to update anyone who was interested. I bought this jacket in the end and it is superb. Waterproof, breathable and comfy, soft material too. There is the Highlander Morland jacket in the range too.

    Rexmoor Highlander

    Hi All, do any of you own the Rexmoor Highlander jacket or know what it is like please? The price seems good, but that always raises suspicion! Thanks, Simon.

    Cleaning MV bulbs

    Thanks Martin. I came to the same conclusion about a week ago. It seems to be the best method without the need for too much aggression.

    Cleaning MV bulbs

    Hi All, I need to find a gentle but thorough method for cleaning my MV bulbs please? I have tried gentle scrubbing with a nylon cloth but with little success. Any tips welcome please? Many thanks.

    645 Pro App

    Hi All, has anyone tried the 645 Pro APP for iPhones that produces a type of RAW image called a dRAW/TIFF yet? The idea sound good and if it works, I would thing it may well improve images taken through a scope. I may try it as it is only £4 but I would like to know if anyone thinks...

    Tripod for Hawke Endurance?

    I like it. I am still getting used to the smaller field of view that comes with a zoom EP. My old scope was a Kowa TSN82 with a fixed 32x EP and of course the field of view was bigger. I am going to get the Endurance fixed EP in a month or two, so that should help with both field of view and...
